Description:
Succulent very popular by caudiciform lovers because of its massive woody caudex with twisted and absolutely unusual shapes, which grows very slowly up to even 12-13 cm in diameter. From the latter depart multiple bodies of a dark green, elongated and completely covered with pointed hexagonal tubercles, at the apex of which grow microscopic deciduous leaflets. The caudex keeps well visible between the stems, appearing as a real pillow with multiple stems, hence the name that, in Latin, means "many heads". Overall this plant will give you a decidedly innovative, majestic and original look at the same time: for its extravagant shapes, no specimen will ever be identical to another!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.
The perfect soil is a highly draining and porous one, for example a mixture of peat and pumice so that it does not stagnate the water.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
